Zhao Lusi was the name trending yesterday after people accused the actress of trying to rustle up some publicity through her Oh! My Emperor co-star Xiao Zhan. If you think the issue is all done and dusted, think again because it actually birthed another issue with Yu Zheng’s name accidentally dragged into the fray this time.
You see, the producer shared a photo of a cup of green tea with the caption chi gua 吃瓜 on Oasis. Loosely translated, chi gua basically refers to gossipy Netizens who are there for the “dirt” but refrain from commenting on the topic. Given the photo as well as the timing of Yu Zheng’s post, some Netizens quickly jumped to the conclusion that the producer was throwing shade at Zhao Lusi. With people calling the actress a “green tea bitch”, and the hashtag subsequently trending on the Weibosphere, you can see how Netizens could’ve possibly ended up with this assumption.
In Chinese slang, green tea bitch 绿茶婊 is an insulting term used to describe women who try to appear pure and innocent (basically pretending they’re good girls). In reality, they are calculating and manipulative with the sole intent of getting ahead.
Anyway, in Yu Zheng’s case, the producer wrote a long statement addressing Netizen’s claims. In it, he said anyone whose star is on the rise should expect to face all kinds of rumours without exception. And to make sure everyone understands that he is referring to Zhao Lusi, he even tagged her handle directly. Yu Zheng praised both the actress’ appearance and performance and said that she definitely has the chance to reach the peak of her career. He also pointed out that whilst she can be a bit thoughtless, she is definitely not motivated by fame and material things.
He added, “her team definitely wants her to do well, it’s just that they haven’t quite mastered the ropes yet.” He reveals that he got a phone call from Zhao Lusi’s boss because of what he posted on Oasis. Although he was a little angry, he understood that her boss is not a celebrity and doesn’t know how to handle negativity. After venting and clarifying things, Yu Zheng says that he had a chat with Zhao Lusi which was fairly transparent.
Yu Zheng is of course no stranger to controversy – when it comes to blogs and malicious speculations from Netizens, there’s no doubt he’s already a dab hand. Zhao Lusi really couldn’t have asked for a better person to leave her with that nugget of wisdom he says he has always subscribed to: “the world is a challenging place and the trials will be numerous. Clench your teeth and stand tall!”

Yu Zheng is a horrible human. He is the male version of a Green Tea Bitch. He always does these underhanded things and starts rumors and incites things for popularity and then pretends he is this wonderful and wise mentor who can do no wrong. He is nothing but a hypocrite.
Seriously
In this case the old american adage is very true , “takes one to know one”, both are shit stirrers.

I mean, if the situation has nothing to do with you then keep quiet. ZL is not under his management nor does she have any connection with him so idk why he thinks his opinion matters. Heck, even has has no relation with XS either. Ain’t Bai Lu and ZL acquittances/colleagues? They seem to get along well. Just looks like YZ is the one that has an issue. He’s like complimenting ZL but also throwing her under the bus at the same time.
Hui
Theres no evidence he’s aiming her, there are lots of people jealous of her now. They might want to ruin any chance of him working with her. After all some of his projects are good. Even some so call big productions failed to produce anything half as good as his stuff.

I actually think Yu Zheng is honest. He doesn’t pretend to be nice or popular. He openly plagiarised and he’s not apologetic about it. He says unkind things (tho some are truths), even to people’s faces. He pokes his nose where it’s not wanted. He may not be nice or well mannered sometimes, but he’s certainly not hypocritical. And it must also be acknowledged that he is a talented screenwriter for a number of very good dramas.
HL
You are definitely right, Yu Zheng is the industry’s Bitch and he knows that. But he still does what he does. I use to dislike him but now I find him very up front, he says what he says. Love him or hate him, he is here to stay. His strength and talent is undeniable.
WTF
Only possibility that Lusi has anything related to YZ is because Lusi has a round face like YZ’s star Zhao Li Ying, perhaps his ex gf. The haters pretend to act like they are from Xiao Zhan fans, but there is no reason his fans will pick on Lusi out of the blue. His fans actually spoken out to make peace. Most haters are just the ZLY fans. Like Xiao Zhan fans, also no reason for YZ to pick Lusi out of the blue, unless the one he cares is ZLY? The fat shaming thing on Lusi is exactly what ZLY couldn’t overcome for years, Lusi is able to win countless fans heart with a true natural look and even when she is chubby. While it’s what ZLY couldn’t obtain. Chinese netizens will never accept ZLY with weight gain in the past, present, or future. Only after years of harsh weight loss and plastic, ZLY finally won a big battle to have so many fans. After so much energy to finally win fans, only gain the weight again because of giving natural birth but fans couldn’t even accept that reasoning. It’s really too harsh for ZLY. To support ZLY, YZ told Lusi there is a lot she needs to learn from big sister ZLY. It’s a lot to wonder why ZLY is so special in YZ heart. He made her famous when she had no experience in acting, but he did not force her to stay with him gratefully like the rest of his stars. Any stars leaving him behind have no good ending with him, except her. There were even some photos of her crying on his shoulders after the chinese netizens sprayed rumors on her. It looks like FSF didn’t give her a wedding, is the marriage unreal, so it’s why YZ is still very caring for her? Looks like his bestie Chen Xiao also pretended to dated her but never liked her for real. Is there a secret affair for YZ to care so much?

Lol why does it always have to be about how pitiful ZLY is, for an actress that is obviously loved in huge numbers when are the childish and immature pity games going to end. We’ve heard the stories a thousand times can you guys say something new now.
